Metech International said the group has ventured into the electronic equipment repair business through a strategic partnership with R-Logic International.

This venture serves to diversify the group&rsquo s business from precious metal recovery and ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling to include repairs and reuse of electronic equipment. This initiative will strengthen the group&rsquo s 4R Strategy of Recycle, Recover, Reuse and Repair, and is in line with the group&rsquo s vision which is to conserve Earth&rsquo s resources by extending the life of all electronics.

R-Logic International has been in the reverse logistics business since 1999. Unlike conventional logistics, reverse logistics requires the collection of aftermarket items for repair and warranty management and usually involves sophisticated IT systems for item-level inventory tracking and warranty management. It delivers end-to-end reverse logistics solutions to its customers, many of whom are global OEMs such as HP, BenQ, Chi Mei and Dell. Its front-end solutions include customer interfacing, customer call management and technical support centre, while its back-end cover defective inventory management, supply management and repairs

Metech is itself a global player in the recycling and reuse business. It provides comprehensive electronic waste management solutions that include recycling of electronic and electrical equipment, as well as recovery of precious metal for enterprises, manufacturers and local communities. The group operates from five plants in the USA and one in Singapore and serves markets in North America, Europe and Asia.
